We present UBV CCD photometry of the metal-poor globular cluster M30. The data were obtained using the 40 inch telescope at Mt. Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatory (MSSSO). We used DAOPHOT CCD reduction package in order to obtain Color-Magnitude Diagram (CMD). We have derived some fundamental parameters of the globular cluster such and metal abundance ([Fe/H]), helium abundance (Y), and distance modulus (m-M) from the CMD. The derived parameters were [Fe/H]=-2.05, Y=0.28, and (m-M)=14.64. From the latter, the distance of 8.3kpc is obtained. Despite the photometric uncertainty near the main-sequence turnoff, we estimate the age of M30 to be 1.6¡¾3 Gyrs from the Revised Yale Isochrones. If[O/Fe]=+0.4, this age will be reduced to 14.2¡¾3 Gyrs.
